|September 09, 2025
The death toll from protests against the government's social media ban has risen to 19, while more than 200 people have been injured across Nepal, The Himalayan Times reported.
Demonstrators demanded the restoration of access to online platforms including Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
According to The Himalayan Times, 16 of the deceased were in Kathmandu Valley and two in Itahari. Hospitals confirmed fatalities as follows: seven at Trauma Center, three at Everest Hospital, three at Civil Hospital, two at Kathmandu Medical College, and one at Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital.
The number of injured remains uncertain due to the overwhelming volume of cases, which include protesters, security personnel, and journalists. Hospitals such as Trauma Center and Civil Hospital are reportedly struggling to accommodate patients and have begun referring cases to other facilities.
